Well, waterbenders are pretty good with manipulating water and freezing it at will, that sort of thing. Maybe not rip someones heart out, but drain them of their blood certainly. Like Hama from the first avatar. Even freezing the blood first and ripping the ice crystals out of their body would be exciting though a tad gory.

The crazy things fandoms come up with. xD
Bumi was my favourite bit of the last episode, just like his namesake. Shame he only appeared in the last episode. I'm still kind of disappointed with all the squandered opportunity with Bloodbending though. With all those crazy limb positions, bloodbenders can ****ing rip someone's heart out or cause your blood to do all sorts of crazy ****. Instead what does Amon do with it? Throw people. Just... throw people. I admit, subtly using it to control fighters is pretty awesome, but still. Throwing people.

In other news: Finally caught up on all the episodes of Legend of Korra, and ho crap that was fast. :s The ending was good, felt rushed and bit ass-pullish, but okay. I didn't really like how Amon's origins were really, really simple, but I get that it's not an overly complicated show. And as an overall point regarding the show: the romantic elements weren't incredibly gracefully done. A bit disappointing and kind of painful to watch. Still, it had the potential for so much more. If only The Legend of Korra had the balls to show a bit (a lot) of blood or maybe tackle the themes in less shallow a manner. Or maybe if it was a Japanese Anime <-- in which case they wouldn't care about age-appropriateness. I'm intentionally being vague here because I don't know if you've watched it yet or not.

I think it's more like, you don't know what you're gonna get (if you don't peek that is) so keep on your toes, and OH **** is that a NEW building?! Yeah, that's more like it.
Idk, I'll be waiting for it without any positive or negative expectations.

In other news, started playing Civ 4 on a harder difficulty setting now. Babylon's a dick. :(

I don't actually remember why I forgot to reply here. I think I was tired last night? Maybe. I have no idea.

Thanks. =D I do try. So many ideas for that story. Problems in the execution, that's all.

The hard part of city planning where you unlock different buildings is the realistic part of it, I think. Because, that's what they do in real life, kinda. We don't have everything yet and people actually leave room for predicted infrastructure instead of going with the most optimal configuration right now. Like, if a town had never used gas pipes before (had it delivered in tanks that sort of thing), how hard would it be to dig up all the roads and pipe up everyone's houses. It's that kind of thing that people leave room for. That and new wiring.

Prewett is budding author gets custody of weird (poltergeist) child with dire implications and no cutesy "I'm starting to get to know this kid" crap.

Totally worth it, man. Breaking Bad is the ****.

In other news, I don't know how to feel about this.
One one hand, oh my God SO EXCITED. Look at that simulation run (inside mechanics video)!
On the other hand... I don't know if they're just repackaging an old product. I like my Maxis with innovation thank you very much.

I'm thinking of giving another go at Prewett for NaNo. Also maybe a different name, but that's minor compared to the main thing. November's a while away so there's plenty of time.

I'm actually trying to get back to watching Breaking Bad. I was up to somewhere in the middle of Season 3 before I stopped due to IRL commitments. I might pick up Firefly after Breaking Bad if it doesn't end like I assumed it did.

Yeah, it was pretty sad. In his old age, he kinda looked like Alfred Neuman, the MAD mascot. Never read MAD of course, but I know what their mascot looks like.

Ho crap, Nano. :O I need to start properly planning now if I'm ever going to have something ready for November.

I've been wanting to watch Firefly because everyone on the internet's been talking about it since forever. But then I heard it was cancelled on a cliffhanger and I'm like, "eeehh... can't be bothered". I hate it when awesome things end on unresolved cliffhangers.

EDIT: Oh my God, Eduard Khil, the Trololo guy just died. :( I wasn't really a big fun but he was a part of internet culture.

Sorry, I'm not really in-the-know when it comes to the whole fan-game/hacking scene. Wasn't really sure what was what.

Well yeah... I joined the BBS (the current iteration of the BBS, not the first dead one) when it first started up in 2009, so yeah I'm pretty sure the BBS wasn't around then. Or maybe you're referring to the first one, but that one's looong dead, spawned out of an attempt at making a fanzine I believe. They're doing it again, as far as I know, so there's that. Also, was it PE2K mayhaps? I know this because people keep talking about it nostalgically. Not fondly. Nostalgically. Didn't know Jax moderated there though. That's new to me.
Anyway yeah, when you said old, my mind didn't directly register the time frame of reference. I said the BBS because two days from now is the first year since we moved our convo away from there. I've only been on exceedingly rarely these days.

Yay, I win! Justice! xD
Anyway, good luck with the Rabbit Hole thing! Should finish sometime on Sunday today amirite?

I tried playing a fan game exactly once. It was Pokemon Naranja and I never got past the first town because it was weird and I think it was in broken English IIRC. *shrug*
Maybe I should give fangames another go.

Yeah, I know I didn't get that part either. :/
I didn't spoil anything though. I think. xD

The disjointed bit was yeah, but I kind of handwaved that because, hey, animated trailer. The soundtrack I kind of enjoyed. And the voice actors, I have to agree with you. It annoyed me to hell. The biggest reason as to why I don't watch much anime these days (much), is because voices and acting cliches in anime irk me to no end because everything's so similar. The bit with the girl handing over the Pokemon (her voice especially) and the bit with the kid with the tie were what annoyed me the most. Beyond that though, I'm pretty okay with them actually spending money to animate this. That is pretty awesome if not a bit disappointing when you compare it to the actual game.

I was going to say something but... actually no it's coming back to me now while I'm writing this.

So apparently Black and White 2 came out with a trailer but it's actually properly animated this time instead of just being spliced game footage and or pictures. It's pretty awesome (and Team Plasma don't look completely stupid this time), if only to make up for what I can only assume will be an un-innovative game (though I have yet to judge it).
